2nd Round Villain

136 – Harass the hero – 1

“… I don’t want other people to hear.”

Leaning my chest against the backrest and staring straight ahead, the customer said that while being conscious of me. With the hood pressed even deeper. lowering his voice completely.

What is it, steam is leaking. You want to avoid this?

“Hmm, although I’ve always been a regular customer with a lot of secrets. Wasn’t that thorough? What are you doing today?”

“There is a situation. If that doesn’t work, go to another information store.”

“Ah Okay. Come inside. I’ll guide you to the boudoir inside. Is that okay?”

“… uh, come on Walk ahead.”

Hearing the customer’s low voice, the store owner shrugged his shoulders, stood up, and walked inside. The guest twitched and followed him.

No matter how much you wear a rag hood, there are things you can’t hide. It’s just the body shape. The pelvis and height are not hidden even with the hood.

Jerk-jerk-.

Hmm, is it a woman? It’s like the weak moaning that I’ve been letting out from a while ago, and the way I deliberately hid my voice. the woman is sure

Anyone who has only seen me at the academy should be afraid of Aru, not me. But the former guest was clearly afraid of me.

Do you know that I am a demon? Put aside the question of how, and think about it.

There are two possibilities. The possibility of knowing that I am a demon from the demon realm, and the assumption that I know that I was a tyrant who terrorized the demon world.

In common sense, it is difficult to be the former. Many demons in the Pandemonium know that I disappeared one day without a word, but that happened 500 years ago. In the human world, it is a time when five ‘centurys’ have changed.

Even Beatrice, who had given me a new identity, did not know that I came from the Demon Realm. There is no way to relate. Unless you’ve regressed like me.

So, does that guest have anything to do with Masurim? I didn’t know that there were other people living in Masurim other than our party. Let’s put aside how we know the connection between Masurim’s Oscar and academy student Evans.

“Hey, Aruya. You smell him well.”

“bruise?”

“The smell, the smell. So that we can find out when we meet again.”

“it’s hard. I don’t smell anymore.”

I gave an order to Aru, promising the future, but the answer that came back was unexpected. I blinked.

“What are you talking about? don’t you smell? Is there anything your nose doesn’t fit?”

“It hasn’t happened before. Since I said it was a smell I had smelled, I erased the smell myself.”

“what? Well, then you should have said it sooner! Why didn’t you tell me!”

“I never told you to tell me! Knock-knock!”

Ha ha, you son of a b*tch. There’s no time to help properly.

He sighed and rubbed his forehead. Aru was still chewing and tasting the meat.

“Still, do you remember the smell you smelled earlier? I will believe you.”

“bruise? I didn’t say anything to remember. Have you already spilled it?”

“What, what? You can think of it again! Can’t you do that!?”

“Kreur… ! How far can you expect from a wolf’s memory! Don’t ask for nonsense!”

“shut up! You useless, stupid son of a b*tch!”

“Grrr! I’m not stupid! As smart as I am!”

nothing more to talk about The customers and the shopkeeper have already disappeared inside, so it’s impossible to attack blindly.

I left the tavern with Aru. Contrary to the sunny day, it was drizzling rain outside.

*****

A cold sweat ran down the nape of Frey’s neck. I wanted to get up right away, but I couldn’t because I thought it would attract more attention.

It was a challenge. In the first place, Frey came to the information award with the purpose of requesting an investigation about suspicious people in the academy, because Evans and his dog, Aru, were included in the category of suspicious people.

‘Why, why are you staring at me like that… ! I hope you recognized me… ? no… Judging from Joker’s words earlier, I don’t know that far… Although it cannot be confirmed unconditionally that he is the Joker.’

The target of the information request is watching, how can I say ‘Please investigate Evans and Aru’ in front of him? Frey chewed his lips, unable to do this or that.

‘still… I got something. He, Evans, doesn’t know about the narrow-eyed teacher. So, I came to Sunspot and asked for information. The problem is that I don’t know either… So, who is Mr. Nintune really?’

Even in the middle of the day, my head was tight. In front of my eyes, a woman with long black hair was urging the request, and behind her, Evans was staring at me with his eyes wide open.

The situation was complicated in many ways. My mind wasn’t too confused.

Besides, my stomach ached. My stomach tickled. It was because I had been in a state of tension for the past few days and was not feeling well. In addition, didn’t Evans almost get the book just now?

Pa – no.

It was as if the watchful eyes were piercing the heart. With her hood ripped off, she seemed to be standing in front of him naked.

Evans’ eyes were terrifying enough to give goosebumps.

My heart sank, and I sat down. If Evans, who is now presumed to be ‘him’, reveals his identity, and if Evans learns about his plan and the background of what happened to him.

Such a future should never have happened. ‘He’ who learned the inside story won’t move according to his will even after that.

Frey wrapped her gold eyes tightly. Then, he spoke out boldly.

“… I don’t want other people to hear.”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper showed a slight surprise.

“Hmm, although I’ve always been a regular customer with a lot of secrets. Wasn’t that thorough? What are you doing today?”

“There is a situation. If that doesn’t work, go to another information store.”

“Ah Okay. Come inside. I’ll guide you to the boudoir inside. Is that okay?”

“… uh, come on Walk ahead.”

I was slow to speak because of the tension. Fortunately, the shopkeeper didn’t ask any more, and Frey followed the shopkeeper to the back of the bar.

Stepping slowly inside, she turned her feelings around. Evans and Aru were no longer in sight, but it was because they did not know where they might be eavesdropping.

Fortunately, the presence of Evans and Aru was no longer felt. It meant leaving the tavern. Frey let out a sigh of relief and settled into the boudoir guided by the store manager.

“Now, you won’t need a car anyway, so let’s talk about work. What did you need?”

“… character research,”

“Like the guests who just left? How many do you need?”

“five. and… .”

“and?”

“Including the two people who just left.”

At Frey’s words, the store owner was silent for a moment. Her red lips twitched thinly.

“It’s not the first time a customer has been the subject of a request, but it’s the first time that a customer who has just visited is a target.”

“There is no problem in principle.”

“It’s not like that. however… Are you okay with your wallet? Five is a pretty big amount. The guests just now, at first glance, weren’t normal people.”

A somewhat suspicious question from the store manager. Frey wordlessly took the check from his pocket.

‘It’s fortunate that I was able to make a lot of money in the dark investment with the knowledge I regressed. If it wasn’t for Joker’s eyes, I would have invested in the sun… It’s luck that we live in an era where fluctuations in the value of money are so jagged.’

“omg. Is it a check with a lot of zeros?”

“It has to be that accurate. Otherwise, I won’t be able to take on a request like this from now on.”

“That means, if you do well this time, you will come often in the future, right?”

“There is a lot of information you need to know. You guys are the most accurate.”

“Yeah, good, good. It’s only good for us. So, do you know the names of the people you’re trying to entrust? I don’t even know the names of the people who just went there.”

Skillfully inserting the handed check through his breastbone, the store owner opened his mouth wide. Her face was full of color.

Staring at the store owner, Frey called out the names of the subjects to be investigated.

“The two who just went, Evans and Aru. The boy side is a student at Eden Academy named Evans Grant, and the dog beast is also an academy student named Aru. However, there is a high probability that he used a pseudonym.”

“Oh, that’s funny. But are you both students? Do students use sunspots these days?”

“… The name of the third quest target is Isaac. I am a teacher at Eden Academy. Its characteristic is that it has a slender figure and narrow eyes.”

“huh? Isn’t that what the guests just requested?”

“that’s right. So, fulfill their request and let me know as well. There’s nothing to lose to you, right?”

“okay. There’s nothing difficult about that. So what next? Are there two left now?”

“The other two are also teachers at Eden Academy. Johann, the PE teacher, and Beatrice, the swordsmanship teacher. You know Beatrice well because she’s famous, right?”

“then! I’ve had a few requests come in! I still have information about Sangvis Sang-sensei in my hands!”

“… You gave me a lot of money Work as much as you receive and bring it. In more detail, closely, find out about your recent activities and relationships. That’s what it means to write that kind of check.”

“okay okay. Don’t worry, I wrote it down. It’s our black spot. Beatrice, Johann, Evans Grant, Aru, and Isaac. Right?”

square square-.

Hearing the gentle sound of coal carving into paper, Frey nodded briefly.

“But this time, the commission is a bit big. More than usual.”

“Because it is important. Especially about Evans, please investigate further. Even the cook for dinner last night.”

“… Really, you’re not wasting your money, are you? I didn’t give you a lot of money for nothing.”

The shopkeeper laughed and said. Despite receiving a complex request, the smile did not disappear from her lips.

rattle-.

“I’ll just get up.”

“Oh, are you going already? Do you have any more questions? As a regular customer, I can give you some service.”

“I do not need. you know.”

“Whoops, being silent.”

Turning his back on the smiling shopkeeper, Frey walked straight out of the tavern. The vigilant woman did not let go of her vigilance until that moment.

After opening the wooden door, Frey did not immediately throw herself out. She poked her head out first, then turned her head to the side and looked around.

There was no one in the narrow alley. There was a gloomy serenity.

Confirming the sight, Frey let out a sigh mixed with relief.

“Whew… You are gone.”

“huh? who’s going Me? Haven’t I gone yet?”

“… !”

Kwa-kwak-!

As Frey hurriedly pulled herself into the tavern, something standing above the door grabbed her by the back of the neck. Then, as a powerful force pressed her down, Frey’s resistance lightly faded and her face fell to the ground.

“Ah!”

“Ahahahaha, I was just going to go, but since I’m so wrapped up, I should be able to hold back my curiosity. Alright, shall we take it off now? Do you want to check who heard it?”

“Stop it! Stop!”

“Ah, there would be no such thing as a crime in the world if the actions were stopped with a few trivial words like that. Don’t worry too much though. At least it won’t do any harm. maybe?”
